- That's funny, when Buchanan said 'religious war,' I took him to mean 'a war
- concerning the issues with which religion deals' not 'jihad.'
-
- Here it is in context.
-
- "My friends, this election is about much more than who gets what. It
- is about who we are. It is about what we believe, it is about what we
- stand for as Americans. There is a religious war going on in our
- country for the soul of America. It is a cultural war, as critical to
- the kind of nation we will one day be - as was the Cold War itself.
- And in that struggle for the soul of America, Clinton & Clinton are on
- the other side, and George Bush is on our side. And, so, we have to
- come home - and stand beside him."
-
- You hear what you want, I suppose...
